DRIFT2540

If some of these images seem familiar, that's because I use to have the drift2540.com surfing site.
I killed that site last year and was amazed at how many people made contact asking me what had happened to it.
I didn't realise how many people were still looking at it.
That's why I started this blog. I have revisited some of my old images and added new ones. Hope you enjoy the ride down memory lane and the future...

such an unusual day, the water was filled with sand from the gale force offshore winds that blew during the night, making the colour of the water close to shore this light pastel green colour.
and it was cracking – archive files 08
